Hi, Im here as a result of an encounter with a snake in my yard last summer, (Newcastle nsw) I'm still unsure what kind of snake it was (golden/darkish brown colour with a white looking underbelly, about 2meters long and quite thin maybe a 1.5 inch radius) It was my first and only snake encounter and it scared the hell out of me. It was cornered, I walked passed and it freaked out and went into a S like movement near my frozen bare feet. Pretty sure I did totally the wrong thing and ran like a big girl, I turned to look and it was right behind me, the next thing I knew I was inside my house with the door shut lol.
At the time I thought I had been chased by it, but now I think I just frightened it and that it, like me, went in the only direction it could go. I never saw it again I kept an eye out for a few days, kept the kids out of the area for a while and that was it.
Since then I have gone from your average scared of snakes person to having a strange obsession with them. I now subscribe to viper keeper on you tube lol, as well as the many other videos out there critter cam etc. and I have a keen interest in snakes that Ive never had before. I like the idea of keeping my own snakes one day, maybe a python or two, although I have never handled one and have no idea where to get that experience from, other than reading about it online. Anyway I thought I might say hi and share all that, Ive just joined and I really enjoy reading through the threads here, i am continually learning about these cool creatures, and can't seem to get enough of it, cheers [emoji111]️
